Georgetown: For 2012, the Teaching Service Commission (TSC) dismissed 138 teachers, according to statistics. The statistics which were released today noted that of that, 134 teachers had their services terminated because they left the system without submitting the requisite notice.
“Some were found guilty of sexual misdemeanors including touching/fondling of students, child abuse specifically emotional abuse, vulgar/ inappropriate behaviour in school, and inappropriate relationships with students. Pornography reared its ugly head among teachers and elicited a zero tolerance approach from the Commission”, the statement noted.
Teachers were also disciplined for neglecting their duties. While, 39 teachers resigned, 347 secondary school graduates were appointed as teachers at the junior level, and 226 trained class-one grade-one teachers and 86 class-three from the pre-service programme at the Cyril Potter College of Education (C.P.C.E.) were added to the list.
